PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
to appoint, in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of the Constitution of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission as set out in Schedule 1 to the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005, Mr. Peter Le Seelleur as a non-States Commissioner for a further period of 3 years.
SENATOR P.F. ROUTIER
REPORT
Following the establishment of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005, and my own appointment as Chairman of the Commission, I should like to remind members that the Law requires the Chairman, in making nominations, to use his or her best endeavours "to ensure that the Commissioners shall be a diverse and balanced group of people in terms of gender, age, experience and skills, who share a commitment to the promotion of the objects of the Commission".
Members are advised that in order to ensure that the original appointment of the non- States Commissioners were made in a fair and transparent manner, the selection process was undertaken in accordance with the procedures for such appointments established by the Jersey Appointments Commission with Mr. Brian Curtis , Chairman of the Commission, involved at every stage in the selection process. As outlined in Schedule 1 of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005, paragraph 5.5: "A person who has been a Commissioner is eligible for reappointment as a Commissioner". I should like to confirm that the Chairman of the Appointments Commission has endorsed the process and recommendation that Mr. Peter Le Seelleur be proposed for a third term.
Mr. Le Seelleur's hard work, dedication and contribution to the work of the Commission has been notable, and his commitment to overseas aid has proved an asset since his appointment to the Commission. A short biography of Mr. Le Seelleur is attached as an Appendix.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
